NOV. thru APRIL in JAX. FL. is BEST

November thru April is the best time for light tackle fishing in N.E. Florida.

Don't think I'll get a huge amount of argument saying that.

But, there's a catch....besides Fish.

And that's ""Weather"".

And ""Tides"".

The weather isn't as stable as in the summer months, with more frequent Fronts rolling through the area. And when it comes to Tides, fishing near a Full Moon can have you wishing the river current of the St. Johns, would "SLOW DOWN"!

(Yes, the tides are much stronger during these months)

NOW. The Fishing:

At Capt Dave's Sport Fishing Charters, between Nov. and April it's TROUT TIME.

More Fishing Reports:

Inshore fishing the St. Johns River, and estuaries around Jacksonville, Florida provides year round opportunities for Redfish, Speckled Trout, Flounder, Black Drum, and Sheepshead to name just a few. Plus, seasonal favorites such as Shark, Tripletail and Pompano.
The legendary Mayport Jetties are mile long piles of huge granite boulders that protect the inlet to the St. Johns River from the Atlantic Ocean. Around these jetties is some of the best and most consistent fishing.
